Quote by Sara Baume

“There really isn't much wrong with me,' I say, 'it's just that, well, I'm not like other people; I don't want the things they want. And this is not right, I mean, in other people's eyes, and I feel as though they feel they are duty-bound to normalise me, that it isn't okay just to not want the things they want, you know?”

“Life changes. Sometimes it is a slow progression, and sometimes it changes drastically in the blink of an eye. It seems to me that life is like being on a raft in the ocean. There are times when we are up on the crest of a wave, loving life, seeing far into the future with hope and happiness. Then other times there seems to be a huge wave crashing right on top of us, and we feel like we are going to drown. And then there are the times we are just floating on our raft in the calm seas, waiting for something to happen. Whatever the case, life changes. You just have to hold on to your raft and ride the waves.”

“There's a table with some catalogues and a guest book in the corner; there are artworks. Today, I need so badly to be inspired by them, even though I hate that word: inspiration. It crops up in too many advertisements, politcians' speeches, Disney films, its meaning obliterated. I refuse to be 'inspired' in the same insipid way that ad executives and politicians and Hollywood producers suggest I should be. What I need from these works is to be reminded of why I used to care about art—so much that I'd try and make it for myself.”
